I think where the upgrade fails because the python2 package is a
subpackage and has a version-specific dependency on another subpackage
from the same source package, that other subpackage should obsolete it.
That's what I did for blockdev: python2-blockdev requires libblockdev
of the same version, so to me it makes sense for libblockdev to
obsolete python2-blockdev in builds where python2-blockdev is not
built:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libblockdev/c/46c87cc14b2e4783555221d4...
do you see any issues with that?
I don't. I completely agree with this approach.
According to the package guidelines, you should stick with a hardcoded
version-release here.
However if you update the package in previous Fedoras, you need to raise the
hardcoded version. I consider that a great PITA.
